I am about to take the LPIC-1 101 exam and I was wondering how hard the exam actually is? I am into Linux now for 5-6 months and I love it. I do wanna make a career out of it, so I am starting out with LPIC-1. I have been preparing for it for 2 months now. Is that enough? I am at the point where I can almost configure an Arch install to the way I want it(i3-gaps..) I also did go through the material, in depth, that is on their website. I do fell kinda prepared. I just wanna know what should I expect, from someone who has been there or someone knows what I am talking about and is willing to give me an advice. Thank you. Any advice is welcome!

I guess 2 month is not really enough, but obviously it depends on you, so it may work.
If you need some recommendation:
1. practice
2. practice a lot
3. practice even more

Best to stick to the exam objectives and make sure that you are very comfortable with all the requirements

In my personal experience its difficult to remember everything, its my suggestion to use the weighting as a guideline as to what is most important and what to focus on more than other if that makes sense. But generally you should focus on everything.

Yeah, after 2 months of hard and dedicated study, I took the LPIC-101. So, Thanks for the replies. Now on my way to LPIC-102. Wish me luck!

Congrats on LPIC-101 and best of luck for next (and perhaps more!)

Yes, congrats! A good surprise.
Just I wish you even more practice and joy, and obviously [some] luck.

Well played!

Hello,
I've got both.
I found the 2nd part harder then the LPIC-101 because some aspects were new to me like X configuration, as I work only with headless servers I don't use graphics.
